I've met a number of Royals over the years:

Princess Margaret - totally self-centred.

Prince Charles was a genuine, if tortured individual - very pleasant, down-to-earth, and a man who was truely interested in you and your job [used to meet him regularly at the Yeovilton greasy spoon]. Couldn't stand sycophants.

Duke and Duchess of Gloucester - warm, knowledgeable and a real pleasure to speak with.

The Queen Mum - THE most fabulous Lady that ever walked the face of the Earth...

Prince Philip - never met him, but he visited the families of those deployed for Gulf War One - my wife & son were impressed by his sincerity and down-to-earth attitude; rank was totally irrelevant. He apparently told the Staish to bu**er off an leave him to talk to the families in private!

The rest I haven't met, but I wouldn't have the Royals job if my last breath depended on it.

Oh, and WWW - stop fishing for dirt - you will alway find those who are pi**ed off, have a score to settle or who have a monk on....
